I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Heh. I never thought Ehud Olmert would be more popular in Lebanon than in Israel!
The Red Cross has received 2 coffins.
Carl, you seem to have missed the symbolic significance of the white (the color alone is significant) armored UN vehicle on the left.
I want to vomit
This is despicable, and all I feel is pure rage.
At this time, I am ironically enough reminded of what Yasser Arafat once said. "A million martyrs to Jerusalem".
It used to be his way of threatening us. I believe even nasrallah the devil incarnate on this earth once said it, too.
Well now after the darkest day in Israeli history.
All I can say is this "A million martyrs to Jerusalem, is not a threat, but a challenge!"
Ehud and Eldad are our brothers. They are now a part of every Jewish heart and we bow before Hashem in remembrance of what was done to them and we are full of grief. As they are laid to their rest, may G-d avenge their blood! And may He too, bring to end those who have brought shame and disgrace to the entire House Of Israel. Go in peace, dear brothers! You will be in the memory of all Israel forever!
Manker - I share your feeling. I have nothing but contempt for those who didn't do everything for the boys that they could have. They will pay and the enemy who murdered them - they will pay very dearly, you can be sure of it!
NormanF,
I wish I could be sure the murderers will pay. Sadly, I am not sure. Read the next post.
Carl - if you're not as sure as I am, than how will Israel confront the challenges awaiting her around the corner? If you an Orthodox Jew, are that pessimistic, I can only imagine what Jews who do not share your level of faith think. What happened today is not a good sign for the future. I have further thoughts on this in my next post.
